Branan finds his half-sister - Zarah, the daughter of Samson - but this isn't a family reunion, it's a fight to the death! But what happens when two combatants are perfectly matched? And what will happen when they find out each other's secret? Meanwhile, Commander Sidon is still oppressing the Jewish people, and three town kids are just making it worse by their pranks. Can Branan and Zarah join forces to repair the damage done by the mischievous but not malevolent kids, and if they can't how will God get the glory? Over-the-top action, with a bunch of entertaining and informative back-up features (sketchbook drawings, pin-ups of the main characters, more 'Life in the Time of Samson' pages, a feature showing the development of one page of finished work, a map and the latest installment of the "Adventures of Young Branan" serial) thrown in for good measure, deliver a full package of Old Testament-style fun!

Will the mighty Branan finally be beaten ... by a girl?!? When Branan agrees to wrestle Zarah, the undefeated champion of Gezer, he knows the prize money will quickly be his. But what makes this muscular girl so confident? After hours of fighting, he discovers the truth---she's his half sister! The joy of their meeting is cut short, however, when Hebrew youths deface a massive Philistine idol. Even with their combined strength, can the son and daughter of Samson save the Hebrew community from their enemies' anger?
